INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The leader of the Indiana House is shelving a bill that would have specifically allowed public schools to teach creationism alongside evolution in science classes.

Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma is using a procedural move to kill the proposal for this legislative session. The bill approved by the state Senate would have permitted local school districts to teach creationism as long as it included origin of life theories from multiple religions including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Scientology.

Bosma said Tuesday that he considered the proposal a lawsuit waiting to happen since the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled before against public schools teaching creationism.
